What'd happen to the internet if the speed of light was 100x slower?
@niplav What'd happen to the speed of light if the internet was 100x slower?
Follow
@gigabecquerel no more videocalls
Much more focus on caching, bog tech companies are national instead of international (benefits from being local)
More wikis, more asynchronous communication and less synchronous
(takes 0.1 seconds for light in this world to move around the globe, in the hypothetical it's 10 seconds)
@gigabecquerel also youtube videos take 10s to load
Sacrifices need to be made I guess
@niplav a small price to pay in comparasion
@niplav ...honestly, that sounds like an improvement
Mainly the no more video calls thing
Fuck videocalls
